Rose Strategies and Match-ups

What are you talking about, I snatch Giefs out of Ex Green Hand (non whiff range) on reaction all the time with ultra. Your reflexes must be slow…

If you just throw out an Ultra, GEEF can beat it with EX Hand, but 99% of the time you’ll beat himt. I HAVE had a ccouple hands studd my Ultra when we both did our move at pretty much the same time

EX Green Hand CAN stuff Rose Ultra. The timing is tricky though…

If you’re getting hit by EX Green hand out of ultra, that means you threw out a random ultra and he answered with an appropriate, non-scrub response. Same can be done with Gief’s lariat, even if he does it before your ultra and you think you can catch it. Bastard treats our ultra like a body wash.

Illusion Spark – it’ll leave you feeling simple yet clean!

Gouken.

If Gouken goes for a reset following a backthrow or any of his ways of doing one, EX Soul Throw gets beaten by MK Demon Flip dive kick on Reversal. EX Soul Throw beats it when used as a non reversal move (land, pause, do move).

If that makes sense.

Yup. Learned that the hard way in our marathon set. Someone told me, dunno who…that ex ST is invincible all the way up. Obviously that is NOT true.

EX SThrow only has a pathetic 6 frames invincibility. As soon as you leave the ground, you are screwed.

This is why i dont want the normal ST to have Ex 6 frames as they wont help much if anything. while they could on the other hand put the invinc on frames 6-8,9,10 and we end up with a much better AA. The Ex on the other hand should just be full or almost complete invinc.

It also is less invinc frames 2,3,4 so it just makes better use of what already there. Some people may feel that grounded invinc is need and to give them a little something we could still use 6 frames for the St but make it invinc from 4~8,9,10 that way we get some ground and air invinc.(i dont think we need it but I can see other peoples aguments for it)

just have to hit it deep…but seriously…thats tough to get used to.

and some characters can still seem to knock you out of that. namely Gief’s frickin headbutt. 1-6 frames invincible, active on frame 7. what a tease. :crybaby:

you ain’t lyin about that…

Saqs interview

Didn’t want to make a new thread. So I’m putting it here. It’s Saqs’ interview with iplaywinner.com. Good Stuff Saqs. Wish you came to NECX.

Winterbrawl is Feb. 27 :tup:

Good interview.

Yeah…I might be switching to Guy too. We’ll see what happens.

Great interview!

Im sticking with Rose tho, i was a main with Akuma too but like saqs said low sta didnt help me. When messing with Rose she fit my game play much better. So looking forward to what they do with Super. Hopefully Saqs and everyone else on SRKs input for rose on super comes into play!

whats the matchup score for :

  • Rose Vs Ryu
  • Rose Vs Akuma

???

i have switched to Cammy about 3 months ago and now playing Rose occasionally… recently i have recorded a set VS Ryu and Akuma… i had some tough times… Ryu out pokes Rose in every turn… and can DP my jumps on reaction… (with cammy i shorten my jumps with Cannon Strike… i dont have that option with Rose :frowning: )

i will post videos once i upload them… (good stuff even tho my Rose execution really suffers because of being away from her for a while… she’s still so fun to use!)

mm… i would say 4 - 6 in both cases, maybe closer to be 3 - 7 in the case of Ryu (talking about high level players).

lol what high level rose play have you seen?

I’d say both matches are pretty even, with Akuma having a slighter edge since he can teleport.

IMO (of course…):
Rose v Ryu is close to even IMO. .5 edge to Ryu.
Rose v Akuma is 6-4 Akuma if the Akuma knows how to vortex properly.

7-3 vs Akuma.

EX Demon Flip kills me like I’m an ant >.>
